What to do and see in Busan, South Korea: The Best Flea & Street Markets
Busan is Korea's second largest city. Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

Was easy to get here on your own if you are on a cruise stopover. From Busan station, take a metro to Toseong station and get out at exit 6. Once out, walk straight then proceed to bus stop of Pusan NU hospital. Board bus 1-1, 2 or 2-2 and it will take you all the way to the entrance of Gamcheong Cultural Village. Be there early or you will soon have many people in your photos which you would not want to. The sights are interesting with many artworks decorating the routes along the whole village and the colorful houses make the whole scene perfect picture shots. There are also a number of eateries throughout the village. Be warn though. There are steep slopes and staircases and would not be so friendly for the elderly. This is something different from most order tourist sites. Worth a trip.

Walking around the market was great to see the ladies selling their fish in the street. The view of the bay from behind the market is greta as well. What makes this place special to me is what happens on the second floor. If you like seafood you need to go to the second floor and select a stall (we went to 40 as we liked their menu and options and it was great). Order the food and enjoy amazing fresh seafood and a greta view of the bay. We have been to Japan and other countries that have amazing seafood and I must say that what we had there was as good if not better. We had the best Sea Urchin we ever tasted (Better than Japan). The oysters were fresh and creamy and everything isles was amazing as well. Im sure the restaurants in the streets surrounding the market are great, but our experience on the second floor was truly remarkable. If you like fresh seafood, if you have to go there. I believe you can buy your own seafood on the first floor and bring it to the second to have them cook it. We simply ordered and saw our waitress go downstairs and pick it out from a vendor.

This spot is one of the best seafood market in Korea! The prices are all reasonable. We bought a 3 kilos lobster for only 100$ and 4 kilos King crab for only 130$! Of course you will have to bargain a little bit to get them even more cheaper so having a korean friend with you will also be a good idea ????. Over all the experience was amazing it was very delicious dinner. We will definitely comeback!

We love the street food here, its taste so authentic and full with flavour. For price wise, I personally think Gukje Market is cheaper for you to grab on the souvenir and food compare to others.
